Issue Position

I call attention to the continuing need for a sufficient supply of energy for national security and support the immediate adoption of a policy of free market solutions to achieve energy independence.

Private property rights should be respected, and the federal government should not interfere with the development of potential energy sources, including natural gas, hydroelectric power, solar energy, wind generators, and nuclear energy. Neither the state nor the federal government should pick winners or losers, but should allow markets to try any and all energy sources leading to individuals finding the best choices for themselves.
